After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 93 Frustration
Tongfu Inn.

This is the largest inn in Ruyang City. It is divided into upper, middle and lower class rooms. When they went there, there were only two middle rooms left, and the asking price for one night was one tael of silver.

There are three people in one room on the boat, and of course it is best to be able to separate them here.

The family's new house can't be moved in yet, Gu Qing and Gu Yu have always been used to sleeping in the same room.

Now she and Gu Yu sleep in one room, and Yang Pei sleeps in one room by himself.

The three of them didn't rest well on the boat. After staying in the inn, the first thing they did was to take a nap first to replenish their energy.

She didn't wake up until noon. Gu Qing washed her face and took the two of them downstairs to eat.

Naturally, I dare not eat in the inn. The food here is too expensive. A bowl of vegetarian noodle soup costs 25 Wen. This is simply money grabbing.

The three of them went to eat noodles on the side of the street. The noodles with pork saozi cost fifteen cents a bowl. There was very little saozi, but the portion of noodles was so big that Gu Qing couldn't finish it, so he took half a bowl of noodles for Yang Pei.

"Brother Yang, the three of us will go for a walk in Nanyang City separately in a while, and I will take Yu'er to look for opportunities." Gu Qing gave Yang Pei ten taels of silver and urged, "Remember Xiaohan's words, don't be impatient Things, we must be calm when doing business, this is the first day, there are two days left, take your time."

Yang Pei didn't dare to slack off, and kept every word Gu Qing said in his heart.

After eating the noodles, the three separated.Gu Qing took Gu Yu for a walk around the street, and finally chose a shop called Zhuo Mu Zhai. The name of the shop was very elegant, but it was actually a shop that sold toiletries.

She walked in, and there were a lot of products here, in addition to the common soap ball soap powder and soapberry, as well as the original version of toothbrush and tooth powder for cleaning teeth, and dried flower petals for bathing, etc... In short, as long as It's what you need to clean your body, and it's all in this shop.

Gu Qing casually bought some toothbrushes and tooth powder. When paying the bill, she said in a warm voice, "Boss, can we chat alone for a while?"

The shopkeeper sitting behind the counter looked up at Gu Qing, and saw that although she was dressed in fine cloth, she didn't even have the simplest plain silver hairpin in her hair. The shopkeeper could guess Gu Qing's identity at a glance, a woman from an ordinary family , I'm afraid I can't make up two taels of silver all over my body. There is nothing to talk about with such a person.

The shopkeeper flicked the abacus with his hand, and said coldly: "The total is 450 Liuwen. If you buy it, you will pay for it. If you don't buy it, you will put it back."

Gu Qing: "..."

She can be regarded as understanding what it means to look down on people with a dog's eyes.

"Can't afford it, don't buy it."

Gu Qing put the things back and walked away with Gu Yu.

The shopkeeper smiled triumphantly: "My eyes are still so vicious, this kind of poor people can't escape my eyes at all, little six, you should learn more!"

The boy named Xiao Liuzi immediately came over to help the shopkeeper hammer his shoulders: "I won't let this kind of person in from now on, will she be able to afford compensation if she touches it..."

Gu Qing walked to the door of another similar shop, went in and asked, but the young man didn't recommend the shopkeeper to her at all.

It's not good if the city is too prosperous, there are snobbish eyes everywhere, their muslin clothes are the best new clothes in Gujia Village, but when they come to Ruyang City, they are just bumpkins, no one can look down on her.

Since these people don't want the door-to-door business, let these people beg her instead.

Gu Qing gradually had an idea in his mind.

It was getting late, so she took Gu Yu to buy some necessary things before returning to the inn.

Gu Qing sat down on the chair and said to Yang Pei: "Brother Yang, go downstairs and buy some food to eat!"

I ate noodles at noon, and I should have something to eat at night, otherwise I will feel bad.

Yang Pei ran down immediately after hearing the words.

The three of them were eating, Yang Pei frowned and asked, "Patriarch, you walked around Ruyang City today, did you find anything?"

Gu Yu said angrily: "The people here are too arrogant and unreasonable. The eldest sister just wanted to chat with the shopkeeper, but they refused and drove us away."

It doesn't matter to Gu Qing, since ancient times, the most attractive job is sales, if you want to make money, you have to put down your face and endure setbacks.

After eating, Gu Qing began to toss a bolt of linen cloth that he bought in the morning.

The fine linen was cut into square pieces, some were stained with oil, some were stained with blood from unknown sources, and some were covered with mud...

"Brother Yang, Yu'er, you two are here to help." Gu Qing said, "These cloth pieces should be as dirty as possible."

Gu Yu picked up a piece of cloth that was stained with oil: "Elder Sister, I might as well take these pieces of cloth to the inn's kitchen to wipe the stove, they will definitely be dirty."

"You're so smart, go quickly." Gu Qing thought for a while and said, "Brother Yang, spend some money and go to the kitchen to buy a pot of leftover vegetables and oil."

Yang Pei already understood what Gu Qing wanted to do, so he nodded and went to do it immediately.

He hurried downstairs with a basin when a drunken middle-aged man suddenly went upstairs and bumped into him, making him dizzy.

According to his previous personality, he would definitely question him, but now that he is in a foreign place, he should act in a low-key way, so he forcibly endured it.

He raised his head and looked at the man in front of him. He always felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

The man really drank too much, staggered and almost fell down the stairs.

Yang Pei hurriedly helped him up.

This person is really heavy, round and round, with all the weight on Yang Pei's body, almost crushing Yang Pei to death.

"Uncle, which room do you live in, I will help you go back."

"Stay...live over there!"

The man casually pointed to the back of the first floor.

The first floor is a low-class room, half a tael a night, and the people who live here are ordinary people.

The clothes on this man's body can be seen to be silk and satin, Yang Pei asked again: "Are you sure you live behind here?"

The man hiccupped and nodded: "That's right there."

The good man Yang Pei went to the end and helped him to go back, but the man didn't stop at the door of the room, but continued to point to the back, and finally he came to the warehouse rented by the inn.

The man took out a key from his neck and threw it in Yang Pei's hand: "Open the warehouse."

Yang Peiyun was in a fog, but he did as he did.

As soon as the warehouse was opened, he was startled. It was full of cloth, piled up to the roof.

And it didn't seem to be an ordinary fabric, he took a closer look, it looked like gauze woven from yarn, this was an extremely expensive piece of fabric!

When he was in astonishment, there was a fire bag in his arms.

The man reeked of alcohol and said, "It's all burned."

Yang Pei let go of his hand in fright, and the fire folder fell to the ground. Recently, he read the fire prevention rules of the soap workshop every day, and for fear of causing a fire, he quickly picked it up and threw it into the yard outside.

"Uncle, malicious arson is a capital offense!" He hurriedly pulled the man out, "Lock it up, I can pretend I never saw it."

"Go away!" The man pawed at the door of the warehouse, and suddenly burst into tears, "Tens of thousands of taels of silver, my tens of thousands of taels of silver, all fell into it..."

Tears streamed down his round face.

Yang Pei didn't know why, so he comforted: "The price of a piece of Luo Yarn is as high as more than ten taels of silver. The cloth in this warehouse can sell at least 6 to [-] taels, and you won't lose money..."

He has learned about the cloth business today, so he knows a thing or two about it.

Luosha is a luxurious cloth made of silk, which is exclusively for nobles.

"Woooooo... I thought I wouldn't lose money..." The man pulled out a piece of cloth and spread it out rudely, "It's all ruined... It's all because I didn't inspect the goods carefully, I was tricked... I voted 3 taels, and other people partnered to invest [-] taels, all lost..."

Yang Pei glanced at it and was speechless immediately.
